“Apple Computer Chief Executive Steve Jobs has quietly returned to work full time after taking a leave of absence to recover from cancer surgery. Jobs has been participating in high-level staff meetings over the past month and corresponding by e-mail with analysts and Apple Computer co-founder Steve Wozniak,” Dawn C. Chmielewski reports for The Mercury News.
“‘All I can say is that he was in excellent spirits,’ wrote Wozniak in an e-mail when asked about his old friend. Those expecting the intensely private Jobs to offer an Oprah-worthy glimpse into his battle with a rare but treatable form of pancreatic cancer will be disappointed,” Chmielewski reports. “Employees and others who have had dealings with Jobs since his return say he never acknowledges his illness or recovery. He is the same old Steve and just as intensely driven as before.”

Thats our Steve. I hate it when people milk or whine about their illnesses.
kinda makes you wonder what the next…
“uhhhh … just one more thing …” will be…
Welcome Back, Steve !!
Good to hear. Steve’s the Man. I do hope that he starts grooming a lieutenant to function as a strong 2nd in command and reassure everyone that the dream will live on no matter what. Steve picking the man should avoid a repeat of the mess of the 90’s should he decide to retire or devote all his time to heading up Disney or whatever. Personally I like Jonathan Ive. He seems to “get it”.
Wonderful news! I was thinking about this yesterday – how we hadn’t heard anything about him back working full time. Best wishes, Steve.
“Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends
We’re so glad you could attend
Come inside! Come inside!
There behind a glass is a real blade of grass
be careful as you pass.
Move along! Move along!
Come inside, the show’s about to start
guaranteed to blow your head apart
Rest assured you’ll get your money’s worth
The greatest show in Heaven, Hell or Earth.
You’ve got to see the show, it’s a dynamo.
You’ve got to see the show, it’s rock and roll ….
Soon the Gypsy Queen in a glaze of Vaseline
Will perform on guillotine
What a scene! What a scene!
Next upon the stand will you please extend a hand
to Alexander’s Ragtime Band
Roll up! Roll up! Roll up!
See the show!
Performing on a stool we’ve a sight to make you drool
Seven virgins and a mule
Keep it cool. Keep it cool.
We would like it to be known the exhibits that were shown
were exclusively our own,
All our own. All our own.
Come and see the show! Come and see the show! Come and see the show!
See the show!”
